I read the changefeeds post, but I don't think I understood exactly what they're for. Would clients be talking directly to the database, or would a persistent app worker block on database updates and then send this to the client?

An app usually sit between the database and the user, isolating them from each other. This demo does not isolate the database, it is just a proof of concept.

Sorry, I was asking about the way the changefeed feature is meant to be used, not about this demo specifically.
